FATA police’s strategy to deal with “fake news” in the cinema / file a complaint – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
According to the Mehr news agency, citing the public relations of the “Cinegram” program, the 18th episode of the “Cinegram” radio program was dedicated to the topic of fake news and immoral news flow in cinema. This program was broadcast on the evening of Friday, December 3, with the performance and editorship of Maysam Karimi, on Radio Show.
In a part of this program, Major Javad Mukhtar Rezaei, the representative of FATA police, came on the line and said: The publication of falsehoods, whether through legal entities or natural persons, can only be pursued by filing a complaint. These cases should be documented and investigated through judicial institutions first in the courtrooms, and when it is recognized as a crime by the judicial authority, it will be referred to the FATA police.
He added: My suggestion is that you be the initiator of this action so that we can do our duty towards you artists. The best course of action is to file a complaint through judicial offices. This type of measures is effective in raising media literacy and the literacy of using virtual space for officials and people. The publication of a statement can somehow lead to this media literacy and countering the publication of lies in these channels. Every word of that fake content published by the judicial authority can be followed up and we as the police will follow up these cases 100%.
Karimi, the host of the program, also asked Major Mukhtar Rezaei to follow up on the demands of the media to deal with fake news, and it was decided that the media should in a separate statement demand to deal with people who publish fake news without identity or materials aimed at destroying people and attacking people. They pay for privacy.
Karimi explained: Although this kind of actions have always been there, during the era of some administrations, we see more activities of these fake Telegram channels. We really want the senior managers of the cinema organization to follow up on this matter. Hopefully, after the publication of the media people’s statement, it is expected that cinema managers will come to work and support the fight against these people.
“Cinemagram” radio program is broadcast live on Friday nights from 21:00 to 23:00.
